[QUOTE="Traxxis, post: 940431, member: 8980"] Well, how do you want it to look? If you want it to look like your Nighthawk (is that a Predator?), they you'll want to get the non-drop in and have a good gunsmith fit it. If you don't mind gaps, and the not-so-tight fit, then go with the drop in and it may be a little less work on your gunsmith. In my limited experience, I haven't noticed the drop-in's being much less work then the non-drop ins. Both generally require fitting. If you order one for a Series 70, it will be much easier to fit because the tangs on the back of the frame wont have to be modified. As for who to go to... I would suggest no other than OlYeller. I've never met him, but I've seen a lot of his work on this site and NEVER heard a bad thing about him... even if he's too modest to say so. :) I would second a few modifications... #1 front and back checkering (but at a minimum, the front) #2 A Novak rear sight with the single white tritium dot on the front I've never handled one with the front strap cut high... so I have no input on it.
